You may have experienced some downtime over the last hour, this was due to a configuration error which resulted in the web server using an old SSL certificate. The configuration is now fixed and the new SSL certificate is active.

It appears that Shoutcast.com is down for maintenance and therefore customers will find that their server cannot connect to the YP. You may get a message on your DNAS saying that your server is ‘private’, this is normal when a server is unable to connect to the YP. This does not affect your service and your listeners can still tune in as normal, it’s just the Shoutcast website that’s not loading.

If you are using BUTT to stream to your server then we recommend you update to the latest version as soon as possible. Outdated versions of BUTT (0.1.15 and lower) don’t work with the latest version of Shoutcast (2.5.5).

We have updated our web player with some improvements. If you prefer the keep the old player on your website then there is no need to make any changes, it will continue to work as normal.

The new player features:

– Completely re-written to work properly with Shoutcast V2.5 as well as V1
– Add logo and background images
– Change the style and size of the player without editing your code
– New HTML5 players available (better compatibility with mobile devices, doesn’t require Flash plugin)
– Flash alternative still available, with HTML5 fallback
– More styles to be added

We recommend using the new code as the old player will no longer be updated.

We are testing new ways to monetize the player on free accounts, upgraded users are completely ad-free.

Each server will experience downtime of around 15-30 minutes and maintenance will be carried out during non-peak times. When the server comes back online, if you are using Shoutcast 2.5 then it will automatically update from 2.5.1 to 2.5.5.
